Download or read book The Answer God s Covenants of Promise written by John E. Hollywell and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years of biblical study have showed John E. Hollywell that most people have never had an accurate explanation of biblical truths and do not know what an amazing inheritance the Bible says they may have once they make Jesus their Lord and Saviour. The chaos the world suffers was foretold in the Bible. Scientists offer explanations, but governments, politicians, and educators have no answers as to why there is such poverty, crime, war, disease, mental health problems, and other forms of misery in the world today. Are there solutions to all of these issues? Emphatically, the author says, Yes! Hosea 4:6 says that Gods people are destroyed through lack of knowledge. This book provides some such knowledge in a simple, readable format. The Answer: God's Covenants of Promise will have achieved its purpose if it can open a readers eyes to see the Word of God as it was meant to be understood, why seemingly good people worldwide are so hostile and inhumane to each other, and who Jesus is and what was His true purpose for coming. The Answer: God's Covenants of Promise was written for everyone who might seek to know where humanity came from, why we are here, and where we go in the future, into eternity. The Answer: God's Covenants of Promise seeks to answer such scientific, evolutionary, and spiritual questions as What is faith in God? to be found through Jesus of Nazareth, Gods son.

Download or read book The Covenants of Promise written by Thomas E. McComiskey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fresh assessment of covenant theology may represent the first book-length examination of the structural relationships of the Old Testament covenants. Tremper Longman, a professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, describes The Covenants of Promise as “a marvelously written and profound book which deals with some of the most crucial issues in biblical theology.” “The significance of The Covenants of Promise,” writes the author, “is in its application of the structure of the covenants to biblical theology. . . . The division of the Old Testament covenants into the categories ‘promissory’ and ‘administrative’ is unique in the literature on the covenants.” This complex “bi-covenantal” structure within which God disposes of the inheritance promised to his people becomes discernible in the biblical text through a sound application of proper exegetical theology. The textual evidence leads one to question the way some tenets of traditional covenant theology have been expressed, but not the tenets themselves. The author first explores the promise in its Old and New Testament settings. He deals with the way in which the promise is expressed in the major covenants, devoting considerable space to the law in the teachings of Jesus and Paul. Next he argues that the promise covenant is eternally valid and that circumcision, the law, and the new covenant are “administrative covenants.” Finally he examines the implications of this structure for biblical theology. Selected topics are the redemptive relationship between Father and Son, the covenant of works, law and grace, and the relationship between the testaments.

Download or read book Some Questions and Answers about God s Covenant and the Sacrament That Is a Seal of God s Covenant written by Robert Rollock and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Rollock is best remembered today for the role he played in the development of Reformed covenant theology, a role defined especially by the uniquely mature treatment of a pre-fall covenant of works discovered in his thought. However, scholarship on Rollock's covenant thought has until now been based almost entirely on an early modern English translation of Rollock's Tractatus de vocatione efficaci (1597), and has overlooked discussion of the covenant of works found both in Rollock's 1596 Quaestiones et responsiones aliquot de Foedere Dei, deque Sacramento quod foederis Dei sigillum est and his 1593 Romans commentary. This volume offers the first complete English translation of Rollock's 1596 catechism as well as English translations of relevant sections from his Romans commentary that deal with the subject of God's covenants with man. Thus this volume stands to offer students of Reformed covenant theology a better understanding of Rollock's thought and the contribution he made to the evolution of Reformed theology, particularly on the matter of God's covenant with humankind before the fall.
Download or read book Introducing Covenant Theology written by Michael Horton and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since biblical times, history is replete with promises made and promises broken. Pastors and teachers know the power of the covenant, and they know that understanding the concept of covenant is crucial to understanding Scripture. They also know that covenant theology provides the foundation for core Christian beliefs and that covenants in their historical context hold significance even today. But to laypeople and new Christians, the eternal implications of "cutting" a covenant with God can be complicating. God of Promise unwinds the intricacies of covenant theology, making the complex surprisingly simple and accessible to every reader. With keen understanding, careful scholarship, and insight, Michael Horton leads all believers toward a deeper understanding of crucial covenant concepts.

This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel overwhelmed to read the Old Testament and New Testament? Do you ever wonder how the Old Testament connects to the New Testament? This is a short Bible study written in rhyming rhythm that shows some of God's Covenants and Promises in the Old Testament that lead to Jesus as the final Covenant. Now there are many religions that do not believe Jesus is the Savior. My hope is that this will give them pieces of the puzzle showing why so many do believe Jesus is the Savior. Maybe this will intrigue them to disprove my conclusion and, in the process, find Jesus for themselves or at least plant a seed. Young teenagers may find this useful in a Bible study. The Bible verses used to write the poem story are at the bottom of the page with questions to ponder after each chapter. Also, the time period such as the pyramids are listed at the bottom of each page too. See if you can put the pieces of the puzzle together from Old Testament to New and come to the same conclusion that Jesus is the final promise and covenant.
Download or read book It Is All About Love written by Eric E. Redic and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It Is All About Love, is the result of years of study, much prayer, and research into God and His word. Many differing opinions exist concerning who God is, as well as the significance of His covenant. The purpose of this book is to provide clear evidence from scripture that the entire covenant, from its earliest expressions, to its final fulfillment, is nothing less than Gods effort to restore and protect His creation. Beginning in Genesis, the covenant is examined to reveal its true purpose as well as humanities relationship to it. Aspects of the covenant that have been misunderstood by some, will become clear, as by the light of Gods word, they reveal the Promised Seed, prophesied from the beginning to crush the serpents head and ultimately restore us back to the image of God, and Earth back to the garden God created it to be. The covenant reveals God as He is; the fullness of true love. The covenant unmasked in the light of Gods word, reveals Jesus as the fullness of the covenant. From that tree in the midst of that first garden, to the covenants festivals, feasts, sacrifices, and even the tabernacle erected in the wilderness, a clear picture develops of Gods love and desire to save and restore us to Himself. Every portion of the covenant is a revelation of Jesus Christ and His love. It Is All About love!
Download or read book The Promise Plan of God written by Walter C. Kaiser, Jr. and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the central theme of the Bible?Given the diversity of authorship, genre, and context of the Bible’s various books, is it evenpossible to answer such a question? Or in trying to do so, is an external grid being unnaturallysuperimposed on the biblical text?These are difficult questions that the discipline of biblical theology has struggled to answer.In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of his classic Toward an Old Testament Theology,Walter Kaiser offers a solution to these unresolved issues. He proposes that there is indeeda unifying center to the theology and message of the Bible that is indicated and affirmed byScripture itself. That center is the promise of God. It is one all-encompassing promise of lifethrough the Messiah that winds itself throughout salvation history in both the Old and NewTestaments, giving cohesiveness and unity to the various parts of Scripture.After laying out his proposal, Kaiser works chronologically through the books of both testaments,demonstrating how the promise is seen throughout, how the various sub-themesof each book relate to the promise, and how God’s plan to fulfill the promise progressivelyunfolds. Here is a rich and illuminating biblical theology that will stir the emotion and theintellect.
Download or read book Who are the Heirs of the Abrahamic Covenant written by John P. Davis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelicals debate the answer to the question, “Who are the heirs of the Abrahamic covenant?” This book offers a brief summary of the major evangelical approaches to the covenant, an exegesis of the covenant, and a discussion on some of the hermeneutical issues related to the interpretation of the covenant. In this book, the Abrahamic covenant is viewed as God’s answer to the failures of Gen 1–11. In those chapters, the seed of mankind became corrupted through the fall, the land was cursed with a consequent loss of man’s dominion over it, and the divine-human relationship was ruptured. The Abrahamic covenant restores to all of believing mankind, regardless of ethnicity, the promise of seed, land, and divine-human relationship.
